Vijay 58' - A first time pairing and a much-awaited comeback

May 11, 2014
Even though Vijay is currently focusing on Kaththi, directed by Murugadoss with Samantha for company, news about his next film to be directed by Chimbudevan (Vijay 58) is already doing the rounds every other day.

Some really heavyweight names were touted to be part of the film's cast, without any confirmation. Names such as Sudeep, Sridevi, Deepika Padukone and Shruti Haasan have all been reported so far with Sudeep himself confirming that he is likely to do the film as he was impressed with the script and his role.

Now it is certain that Sridevi and Shruti Haasan would also be sharing the screen space with Vijay in this film. This would be Sridevi's first straight Tamil film after her comeback, which was made memorable by English Vinglish. Shruti would meanwhile be working with Vijay for the first time in her booming career which just seems to get better and better with every passing year.

A Vijay-regular signs on for 'Vijay 58'
Vijay's next film, after he completes Kaththi, is with director Chimbudevan. This happens to be Vijay's 58th film and expectations are riding high among fans. Shibu Thameens and P.T.Selvakumar would be producing this fantasy entertainer.
Muthuraj has been signed on as the art director while A.R.Rahman is in talks to compose for the film. We now have authentic info that acclaimed cinematographer Natraj (Natty) has also been roped in to do duty behind the lens for this flick.
Natty has dabbled with acting in a few films while his work as a cinematographer has been noted in hit Hindi films such as Jab We Met and Love Aaj Kal. He has already worked with Vijay in films such as Youth and also for a song in Thuppakki.
'Vijay 58' would begin its filming in August / September after Ilayathalapathy completes work on Kaththi.

I thought he had learnt a lasting lesson after what happened for Thalaivaa. It's unfortunate that he is choosing to flirt with danger again.

Vijay needs to avoid anything that has to do with politics, stay neutral and stay silent.

[Adox]

Vijay has wholeheartedly congratulated both the victors and extended his best wishes .. Many have done the same. I dont see anything political here .... Most of his issues were SAC related including Thalaiva.
